The purpose of this unit is to help students understand themselves in terms of their imagined future study in the disciplines. Research shows that adult students identify positively with topics and tasks that link them more closely to their future discipline study and career goals. When students have the opportunity to engage with discipline lecturers and basic concepts in their chosen field of study they are motivated and develop enhanced confidence in their academic purpose. Throughout the unit, a 'both-ways' approach to discipline knowledge is encouraged, with participants investigating the interface between Indigenous and mainstream perspectives in the discipline areas.
